I am trying to define a custom pen with a heavy weight (thick).
Here are the steps I am going through:
1.) View>On Screen View Options>True Line Weight
2.) Document>Pen Sets>Pens and Colors (Model Views): Define new pen index 150, pen weight 1.00 mm, custom color (or standard color).
3.) Document>Pen Sets>Pens and Colors (Layout Views): Pen index 150 is the same in the layout views.
4.) Now I draw a line in the heavy pen (index 150) in the model view. It shows on the model view as heavy and in the correct color.
5.) When I switch to the layout view, the pen is in white and not the heavy weight (as if it has gone to index 150 prior to the color/weight being assigned).
6.) Rebuilds do not affect the layout. All pens drawn on the model show up correctly on the layout Except ones I have defined newly.
7.) IF I want to draw a line directly on the layout itself (not on the model view) -- I can use the newly defined pen and it shows up correctly.
Note what I am trying to do. Define a new pen of heavy weight and draw a line on the model view in that defined pen, having it show up on the layout which will eventually be publlished and printed as a heavy line.
The characteristics of any new pen I define (index higher than 120) do not show up on the layout.
What am I doing wrong? Any clues greatly appreciated!
